car reviews

A very balanced SUV, this. Comfy, quiet, practical, none too sporty and all the better for it. More an XC90 rival than an X5 fighter

Makes a broadly good first impression with its S-Class-grade tech and comfy cabin. Final verdict to come once we've driven a UK car

A very capable all-rounder that has something to offer just about anyone who might conceivably be interested in it, but not without fault

Early signs are good, but we'll need more time in the new C (and a UK-spec car) to deliver our final verdict

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

High technology and sumptuous luxury merge in spectacular fashion to deliver a car that lights the way forward

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul

The EQA isn't exactly engaging to drive or quick. Its big draw is the hugely refined and reassuring feelgood ambience, and that'll satisfy the fanbase. If perhaps not find new converts

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well indeed, but it's not without its problems...

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

Surprise, Surprise - big Mercedes is excellent. And far less obnoxious to look at than its closest rival.

BMW X4, this is all your fault. Can Mercedes do the coupe-SUV any better?

Take one Mercedes A-Class, subtract practicality, add style

Connectivity and interior layout takes priority over how it drives. For some, that'll be perfect

A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS

Mercedes nails it. The C-Class cabrio is pleasant to drive but majors on open-top relaxation

There's nothing quite like it on sale. A proper continent-crusher

AMG's mid-life tweaks to the GT supercar make it a very compelling choice.
